[Foundation-l] Community Assembly

[Geoffrey Plourde]

The Board simply said that any proposal in this area would come from the community. Power over the community comes from the community. If it would make you happier, the consensus provision can be changed to a 60% majority.

What will make it unified? A mythical idea of consensus? What is  
consensus, as determined by the assembly? And what makes you think it  
would have any authority, after the board rejected the idea of giving  
the significantly better planned out Wikicouncil idea any authority?
